Yes. I can comfortably say that I'm in the 64% that play RL to relax. Normally after a few hours of playing something else that takes concentration, I'll throw on RL and do a few rounds to unwind.

Contact Sony with any proof I have that Amazon shipped it to me. The key is getting the information to Sony that Amazon made a mistake. To register it as stolen with Sony, Amazon are claiming someone has actually taken it from Amazon. If Amazon send it out to someone, that's a mistake, not a theft. Sony should un-block the console.

You speak to the local trading standards board.

If Amazon were to ship the incorrect item, it's on them to resolve the issue. In the US the recipient is protected by federal law, meaning they can keep the item without penalty i.e. Amazon wouldn't be able to register the item as stolen to get it black-listed by Sony, afterall Amazon would have had to pick the item, stick your name and address on it and then send it out. Amazon would have to accept it as a mistake and loss on their books.

In Canada, you'd be expected to make every reasonable action to return the goods, but not at your expense, i.e. contact Amazon and they pay for return shipping. If Amazon don't want to pay return shipping, then you can keep it.

Edit - if this were a situation I was in, I'd take a picture of the packaging, showing my name and address, and send it to Sony as proof the item wasn't stolen, and that Amazon knowingly sent it to me.
